Recognizing God’s Ownership, October 17
高举主耶稣-第291章
“祢口中的训言与我有益,胜于千万的金银”(诗119:72)。{LHU304.1}
高举主耶稣-第291章
The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver. Psalm 119:72. {LHU 304.1}
高举主耶稣-第291章
诗人所说“祢口中的训言与我有益,胜于千万的金银”(诗119:72),即使从宗教以外的观点来看,也是正确的。这句话表达了一个绝对的真理,为商界所公认。即使在这个物欲横流、竞争剧烈、不择手段的世代里,人们依然公认:一个青年初入世途时,正直、勤劳、节制、纯洁和节约,乃是比仅有任何数量的金钱更好的资本。……{LHU304.2}
高举主耶稣-第291章
The psalmist’s words, “The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver,” state that which is true from other than a religious point of view. They state an absolute truth, and one that is recognized in the business world. Even in this age of passion for money-getting, when competition is so sharp, and methods are so unscrupulous, it is still widely acknowledged that, for a young man starting in life, integrity, diligence, temperance, purity, and thrift constitute a better capital than any amount of mere money.... {LHU 304.2}
高举主耶稣-第291章
事业完美和真正成功的基础,在于承认上帝的主权。万物的创造者原来就是主宰。我们只是祂的管家。我们的一切都是祂所托付的,必须按照祂的指示使用。{LHU304.3}
高举主耶稣-第291章
That which lies at the foundation of business integrity and of true success is the recognition of God’s ownership. The Creator of all things, He is the original proprietor. We are His stewards. All that we have is a trust from Him, to be used according to His direction. {LHU 304.3}
高举主耶稣-第291章
这是每一个人的职责,涉及人类活动的全部范围。无论我们承认与否,我们都是作管家的,蒙上帝赐予才干与能力,被安置在世上,作祂所指定的工作。{LHU304.4}
高举主耶稣-第291章
This is an obligation that rests upon every human being. It has to do with the whole sphere of human activity. Whether we recognize it or not, we are stewards, supplied from God with talents and facilities, and placed in the world to do a work appointed by Him. {LHU 304.4}
高举主耶稣-第291章
各人都有“当作的工”(可13:34),适合他的才干,对他自己和他的同胞有最大的好处,并能给上帝带来最大的尊荣。{LHU304.5}
高举主耶稣-第291章
To every man is given “his work” (Mark 13:34)—the work for which his capabilities adapt him—the work which will result in greatest good to himself and to his fellowmen, and in greatest honor to God. {LHU 304.5}
高举主耶稣-第291章
所以我们的事业或职责乃是上帝伟大计划的一部分。只要遵照祂的旨意而行,祂就必为后果负责。我们既是“与上帝同工的”(林前3:9),我们的本分便是忠心地遵从祂的指导。这样就不必忧虑了。所需要的是殷勤、忠诚、尽职、节俭和谨慎。要充分利用每一种才能。但不可依靠自己努力的成果,乃当依靠上帝的应许。那使以色列人在旷野得饱足,使以利亚在饥荒时期得到维持的话语,在今日仍具有同样的能力。“不要忧虑说:‘吃什么?喝什么?’”(太6:31)……{LHU304.6}
高举主耶稣-第291章
Thus our business or calling is a part of God’s great plan, and, so long as it is conducted in accordance with His will, He Himself is responsible for the results. “Labourers together with God” (1 Corinthians 3:9), our part is faithful compliance with His directions. Thus there is no place for anxious care. Diligence, fidelity, care-taking, thrift, and discretion are called for. Every faculty is to be exercised to its highest capacity. But the dependence will be, not on the successful outcome of our efforts, but on the promise of God. The word that fed Israel in the desert, and sustained Elijah through the time of famine, has the same power today. “Be not therefore anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink?” (Matthew 6:31, RV).... {LHU 304.6}
高举主耶稣-第291章
那位赐人得资财之能力的主,随着这种恩赐也给了人一个义务。在我们的一切收入中,祂要得到指定的一份。十分之一是耶和华的。……上帝的命令是:“你们要将当纳的十分之一全然送入仓库”(玛3:10)。这种要求不属于感恩或慷慨,而只是忠诚的问题。十分之一原是耶和华的。祂吩咐我们将属于祂的归还给祂。{LHU304.7}
高举主耶稣-第291章
He who gives men power to get wealth has with the gift bound up an obligation. Of all that we acquire He claims a specified portion. The tithe is the Lord’s.... “Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse” (Malachi 3:10) is God’s command. No appeal is made to gratitude or to generosity. This is a matter of simple honesty. The tithe is the Lord’s; and He bids us return to Him that which is His own. {LHU 304.7}
高举主耶稣-第291章
“所求于管家的,是要他有忠心”(林前4:2)。诚实既是商业活动的基本原则,我们难道不应该承认我们对上帝的本分吗?这本分乃是一切责任的基础。(Ed.137-139).{LHU304.8}
高举主耶稣-第291章
“It is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful” (1 Corinthians 4:2). If honesty is an essential principle of business life, must we not recognize our obligation to God—the obligation that underlies every other? (Education, 137-139). {LHU 304.8}
